Stephens County · Stephens County Regular field · Vertical
Welch Josephine #4 (API 42-429-35002) is a plugged well in Stephens County, plugged September 30, 1993, last operated by Basa Resources Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 10, 1988, permitted to 3,600 ft.
It was permitted by Sun Expl. & Prod. CO.-Abilene and has since transferred to Basa Resources Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Caddo.
Its lease has reported 148K barrels of oil and 7.51K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
